For a decade or more teleradiology has provided an eminently effective solution to the problem of radiologist shortages and burnout. However, the total number of radiologists, although well utilized, remains finite and relatively static or arithmetic in progression, yet the number of images being generated is more along the lines of geometric progression resulting in an overall mismatch, which in turn results in increased rates of radiologist fatigue and error. AI algorithms into a teleradiology workflow and practice allows for the effective leveraging of the true benefits of each in a manner that can simultaneously benefit large populations or public health initiatives. Teleradiology and AI, going forward can be greatly synergistic in terms of their potential to achieve impact on healthcare delivery. To read more click on the below link….
